Connaught Square, Garden square in City of Westminster, England

The symmetrical square contains 45 brick houses arranged in a rectangle around a central private garden with mature trees and shrubs.

Built in 1828 as part of the Hyde Park Estate by Thomas Allason, this square marked the first residential development in the Bayswater area.

Each summer, property owners organize a communal gathering in the central garden, maintaining a long-standing tradition of neighborhood social events.

The garden remains private, with access limited to property owners who receive keys and contribute to the maintenance of the green space.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair purchased a residence here in 2004, leading to the implementation of 24-hour Metropolitan Police Service protection.
